Thanks for sharing your work with us Terry. There's a lot of deep thought in these. I am quite sure I do not 'get' it all but I appreciate the work and vision you have put into these works of art.
Thanks very much Owen.
I've always enjoyed your work, Terry, and this collection is no exception. I'm especially fond of your "Watchmen" piece. Those mysterious eyes and hand got my attention and now have me thinking.
I sincerely hope that when I post my first drawings that they are at least on their way to becoming as good as yours.
I find this collection frightening and disturbing. To me, it intimates abuse, escape and secrets.
If you've been working on these recently, no wonder your mood is dark.
Thanks Tom and Cathy.
VERY NICE TERRY. You have such talent. Just curious...with the various theories out there...what do YOU think the sin of Ham consisted of? Noah's curse seems to indicate that Ham was a naughty boy while Daddy was in drunken slumber.
David - Thanks! A few months ago, a wonderful blogger, who is part of a Bible study group, wondered why the punishment was so great for simply exposing his father's nakedness. Former protestant exegetes have their opinions, and I have mine.
Privately at least; I think it is probable Ham knew his father on a different level than his brothers.
